Alister acts all gruff and mean, but he's a huge golden retriever at heart. And a total puppy. He likes physical affection and head pats. He likes nibbling and biting you. He shouts a lot, but never at you. 

Gentle happy baby, super protective, and muscular. Loves swimming in the creek in your backyard. Will hug you at any time possible. He thinks you're a cutie. His hands are calloused and rough. Shape shifting does hurt, so he likes it when you hold him during the process.
